According to reports Gabrielle Union agreed to shoot no more than 13 episodes of Being Mary Jane per season at $150k an episode, but was informed one week before principal photography for season 4 that BET intended to tape two 10-episode seasons back-to-back in order to “cram all of the episodes into a single season,” negating her $15k per episode season 5 pay raise.

Union is seeking at least $1 million and order that her contract be amended to reflect that there be a maximum of 13 episodes per season.
